Bug#972811: xfonts-utils: New upstream release available, fonttosfnt 1.2.0
Package: xfonts-utils
Version: 1:7.7+6
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
as you may know a new upstream release is available for fonttosfnt:
https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2020-October/060497.html
This release includes some fixes that can be useful for people
converting bitmap fonts to Open Type bitmaps, which is particularly
relevant since pango removed support for older bitmap formats[1,2].
It would be good to have it in Debian.
Let me know if you need some help and I'll try to find some time.
Thanks a lot,
Antonio
